An ad by an [[anti-Trump]], phony "[[conservative]]" group was released on January 28, 2020 attacking McSally with highly misleading points.<ref name="MARTHA MCSALLY, TRUMP HACK"/> The ad initially claimed that [[Arizona]] “rejected” her in the [[2018 U.S. Senate election in Arizona|2018 U.S. Senate election]] and that she lost “badly”, and while the final election results did show her [[Democrat]] opponent [[Kyrsten Sinema]] winning,<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-arizona-elections.html Arizona Election Results 2018]</ref> it had only been by a margin of 2.4%, and it's also important to note that McSally had held a clear 16,000-vote lead during the general election night before "other" ballots were counted.<ref>[https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/not-arizona-election-results-audited-election-fraud It Is Not Over, Arizona Election Results Being Audited For Election Fraud] '''(Warning: Tweet within article contains foul language)'''</ref> The ad also claimed that such was because McSally was “too close to Donald Trump”, which had been strongly refuted by many [[conservatives]] during the time who then felt that she was too [[moderate]]. The ad continued to cite polling that "concludes" the senator's approval ratings dropping, despite consistently high margin of errors in the data in addition to consistently low sample sizes. Among its later talking points were praises of [[John McCain]] and [[Barry Goldwater]], including portraying the former as being “tough” and having done “what was right”; it's important to note that McCain, despite having been a war hero, fought to cover up evidence of POWs left in [[Vietnam]] after the [[Vietnam war|war]] ended.<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/29882-mccain-was-no-maverick-on-pows McCain Was No Maverick on POWs]</ref>
